WarpSpeeder
Introduction
[ WarpSpeeder™ ], a new powerf ul control utility, f eatures three user-f riendly functions
including Ov erclock Manager, Ov ervoltage Manager, and Hardware Monitor.
With the Ov erclock Manager, users can easily adjust the frequency they prefer or they can
get the best CPU perf ormance with just one click. The Ov ervoltage Manager, on the other
hand, helps to power up CPU core v oltage and Memory voltage. The cool Hardware
Monitor smartly indicates the temperatures, voltage and CPU fan speed as well as the
chipset inf ormation. Also, in the About panel, you can get detail descriptions about BIOS
model and chipsets. In addition, the frequency status of CPU, memory, AGP and PCI
along with the CPU speed are synchronically shown on our main panel.
Moreov er, to protect users' computer systems if the setting is not appropriate when testing
and results in system f ail or hang, [ WarpSpeeder™ ] technology assures the system
stability by automatically rebooting the computer and then restart to a speed that is either
the original system speed or a suitable one.
System Requirement

restore to the hardware def ault setting or load the verif ied best and stable
frequency according to the Recovery Dialog’s setting.
e.
“Verify button”: User can click this button and [ WarpSpeeder™ ] will proceed a
testing f or current frequency. If the testing is ok, then the current f requency will be
sav ed into system registry. If the testing f ail, system will do a fail-safe rebooting.
After reboot, the [ WarpSpeeder™ ] utility will restore to the hardware default
setting or load the verif ied best and stable frequency according to the Recovery
Dialog’s setting.
Note: Because the testing programs, invoked in Auto-overclock and Verify,
include DirectDraw , Direct3D and DirectShow tests, the DirectX 8.1 or new er
runtime library is required. And please make sure your display card’s color
depth is High color (16 bit) or True color( 24/32 bit ) that is required for
Direct3D rendering.
22
5.
Hardware Monitor Panel
Click the Hardware Monitor button in Main Panel, the button will be highlighted and the
Hardware Monitor panel will slide out to left as the f ollowing figure.

will slide out to up as the following f igure.
In this panel, you can get model name and detail inf ormation in hints of all the chipset that
are related to overclocking. Y ou can also get the mainboard’s BIOS model and the
Version number of [ WarpSpeeder™ ] utility.
23
Note: Because the overclock, overvoltage, and hardware monitor features
are controlled by several separate chipset, [ WarpSpeeder™ ] divide these
features to separate panels. If one chipset is not on board, the correlative
button in Main panel will be disabled, but will not interfere other panels’
functions. This property can make [ WarpSpeeder™ ] utility more robust.

This field determines the action the system will automatically take when power is
restored to a system that had lost power previously without any subsequent
manual intervention. There are 3 sources that provide current to the CMOS area
that retains these Power-On instructions; the motherboard battery (3V), the Power
Supply (5VSB), and the Power Supply (3.3V). While AC is not supplying power,
the motherboard uses the motherboard battery (3V). If AC power is supplied and
the Power Supply is not turned on, 5VSB from the Power Supply is used. When
the Power Supply is eventually turned on 3.3V from the Power Supply will be
used.
There are 3 options: “Former-Sts”, “On”, “Off”.
“Former-Sts”
Means to maintain the last status of the CMOS when AC
power is lost.
“On”
Means always set CMOS to the “On” status when AC
power is lost
“Off” (default)
Means always set CMOS to the “Off” status when AC
power is lost.
For example: If set to “Former-Sts” and AC power is lost when system is live,
then after AC power is restored, the system will automatically power on. If AC
power is lost when system is not live, system will remain powered off.

7 PnP/PCI Configurations
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer
Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed of
the CPU itself uses when communicating with its own special components. This section
covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced
users should make any changes to the default settings.
„ Figure 7. PnP/PCI Configurations
PNP OS Installed
When set to YES, BIOS will only initialize the PnP cards used for the boot sequence (VGA,
IDE, SCSI). The rest of the cards will be initialized by the PnP operating system like
Window™ 95. When set to NO, BIOS will initialize all the PnP cards. For non-PnP
operating systems (DOS, Netware™), this option must set to NO.
The Choices: No (default), Yes.
Reset Configuration Data
The system BIOS supports the PnP feature which requires the system to record which
resources are assigned and protects resources from conflict. Every peripheral device has a
node, which is called ESCD. This node records which resources are assigned to it. The
system needs to record and update ESCD to the memory locations.
These locations (4K)
are reserved in the system BIOS. If the Disabled (default) option is chosen, the system‘s
ESCD will update only when the new configuration varies from the last one. If the Enabled
option is chosen, the system is forced to update ESCDs and then is automatically set to the
“Disabled” mode.
24
BIOS Setup
The above settings will be shown on the screen only if “Manual” is chosen for the resources
controlled by function.
Legacy is the term, which signifies that a resource is assigned to the ISA Bus and provides
non-PnP ISA add-on cards. PCI / ISA PnP signifies that a resource is assigned to the PCI
Bus or provides for ISA PnP add-on cards and peripherals.
The Choices: Disabled (default), Enabled.
Resources Controlled By
By Choosing “Auto(ESCD)” (default), the system BIOS will detect the system resources
and automatically assign the relative IRQ and DMA channel for each peripheral.By
Choosing “Manual”, the user will need to assign IRQ & DMA for add-on cards. Be sure
that there are no IRQ/DMA and I/O port conflicts.
IRQ Resources
This submenu will allow you to assign each system interrupt a type, depending on the type
of device using the interrupt. When you press the “Press Enter” tag, you will be directed to
a submenu that will allow you to configure the system interrupts. This is only
configurable when “Resources Controlled By” is set to “Manual”.

PCI / VGA Palette Snoop
Choose Disabled or Enabled. Some graphic controllers which are not VGA compatible
take the output from a VGA controller and map it to their display as a way to provide boot
information and VGA compatibility.
However, the color information coming from the VGA controller is drawn from the palette
table inside the VGA controller to generate the proper colors, and the graphic controller
needs to know what is in the palette of the VGA controller. To do this, the non-VGA
graphic controller watches for the Write access to the VGA palette and registers the snoop
data. In PCI based systems, where the VGA controller is on the PCI bus and a non-VGA
graphic controller is on an ISA bus, the Write Access to the palette will not show up on the
ISA bus if the PCI VGA controller responds to the Write.
In this case, the PCI VGA controller should not respond to the Write, it should only snoop
the data and permit the access to be forwarded to the ISA bus. The non-VGA ISA graphic

controller can then snoop the data on the ISA bus. Unless you have the above situation,
you should disable this option.

The Choices: 100MHz (Default)
If unfortunately, the system’s frequency that you are selected is
not functioning, there are two methods of booting-up the system.
Method 1: Clear the COMS data by setting the JCOMS1 ((2-3) closed))
as “ON” status. All the CMOS data will be loaded as
defaults setting.
Method 2: Press the <Insert> key and Power button simultaneously,
after that keep-on pressing the <Insert> key until the
power-on screen showed. This action will boot-up the
system according to FSB of the processor.
※ It’s strongly recommended to set CPU Vcore and clock in
default setting. If the CPU Vcore and clock are not in default
setting, it may cause CPU or M/B damage.
